Elemental damage and control
If you are reading about Crown Prince’s elemental damage or Energy Orb follow-up, start with Pyro/Electro/Acidominance and Energy Blade.
Pyro/Electro/Acidominance Energy BladeGunfire Reborn’s Steam description establishes a game built around distinct heroes, randomly dropped weapons, and varied items. The supplied character guide describes how several heroes’ primary and secondary skills work and names specific ascensions that alter those skills, damage, defense, or ammunition. This reference records ten named ascensions and their stated effects, centered on Crown Prince’s elemental and Energy Orb options and Ao Bai’s dual-wield, ammunition, and explosion options. The guide itself says it is a basic character guide and points elsewhere for weapon information. These are descriptions from the supplied passages, not independently verified current mechanics or a complete progression reference.
